    Yep. Sort of like being in sales or pharmaceuticals.

    I just wrote the screenplay and they let me have an uncredited part as a crooked cop.

    Not sure how long you have lived in Oregon, but how do feel about the legalized reefer?

    It's a cluster. We have way too many shops for Oregonians and way, way too much production for Oregonians. Because it still has problems at the federal level, the stores and growers can't do business through bank accounts, so everything is now cash. There's so much cash in my area, the banks had to hire extra cashiers and businesses extra security because the weed people buy everything from cars to fertilzer with cash. Because there is so much cash, weed people have lots of weapons, and for good reason, as people try to rip them off. Also, there are so many people who don't what they are doing. We've had a few drying sheds burn down because idiots daisy-chained too many electric heaters to try and dry it out faster. Organized crime is intimidating mom and pop growers into selling to them and then the weed illegally leaves the state. Huge problem that could be mitigated somewhat by cutting back on the number of growers, but the state likes the cash from the licenses. Timber companies are clear-cutting to get the timber profits and then selling the land to the weed growers in the accelerated real estate market because they make more off the sale price and interest than they could planting new trees. This creates huge problems with water rights, public lands access, and yes, firefighting. Growers don't want any feds of any kind nearby. A number have started growing weed around the perimeter and then cooking meth in the middle because you have to have a big fence around your grow and from the outside, it looks like only weed. I fully expect a centralization of the market in the near future and my bet is it won't be by completely legit people. We've got a lot of thinking to do and reforms to push.

    What's more cheerful than saving your father from assassins?

    Now this will surely accomplish @rimrocker 's post goal. Nothing gets the post flowing like a pissy fight!

    Quick, diss each other's mothers!

    I feel ya...some people just really want beans, so that's my compromise in lieu of telling them to go **** themselves.

    What else could I say?

    I draw the line at spaghetti though. You ask for that and I'll be in prison shortly thereafter.

    Does @donkeypunch have a certificate stating that he's not, in fact, donkey-brained?

    So I'm guessing you don't like chocolate and cinnamon in your chili spaghetti?

    Of course I do. It hangs on my wall, right next to my Bird Law degree. What have you done with your life?

    Rimrocker, I don't know how old you are, so please take no offense

    But it's my experience, older men usually have some pretty funny sailor/bar jokes. I know my grandfather certainly had endless jokes, particularly long-winded story type dirty jokes. Do you have anything of the sorts up your sleeve?
